State Politics.
AVe rive the resolutions of both our
state convcntions, in this paper. Our
r.e:iders can compare them, as they will
notice one able paper has done already.
In the Ivepublican eonvention lield at
ISIonlpelier, Mr. Dillingham was nominat
ed lbi- governor, as every body supposed
lie would be. Mr. Gardner had also ap
peared as perhaps the most prominent raan
for the lieutcnaney. We uuderstand that
Mr. G. was urgcd by the people who
don't believe that the railroads of the
state should manage its political atfairs.
It is known to all that this has been the
tendency of the tiuies for a few years
baek, and against this monopoly we trust
Mr. Gardner will steadfastly set his face
and use his influence.
Mr. John li. Pajze had priven out that
he did not wUh to longer be treasurer,
and we presume he did not ; but some
fclt as tliough he raust retain the office
one year more, till the war matters werc
all pcttled up, at least. "We presume this
feeling was auginented by the fact that
some names had been mentioncd in connec
tion with the ollicc that the people werc
afraid of.
So we havcon ourticket, Diluxgham,
Gakdxeh, Tage-, strong, good men and
true. With them we feel that the inter
ests of the state will be well cared for.
The New8.
We go to press the wrong time in thc
week to givc much news, no daily papers
liaving been printed sincc Tuesday morn
ing, and many wecklies being suspendcd
altoyjethcr. ...Thc wcathcr thc Fourth
was glorious in this section neithcr cold
nor hot, but just right a very fortunate
circumstance for thc multitude who cele
brated. . . .President Johnson' s health crc
ates some iears ; hc having been bored
nearly to death by ollice seekers and dele
gations with gratuilous advice. Had hc
been well he would have attended thc cel
ebration at Gcttysburg thc 4th.... The
trial of the conspirators at W. is closed
and the linding of thc court is before thc
President for revision and approval. On
account of his indisposition it may be
some time before the verdict ivill be made
public. It is "said" that the verdict is
guilty. . . .Thc rumor that Gen. Lee had
been arrested and was to be tried for trea
son was doubtlcr-s entirely erroneous, for
by thc terms of his surrendcr wc do not
see how thc government can molest him
so long as he shall obcy the laws of the
U. S. Lee and his wholc army are
"Scott free " so long as they behave
theraselves, made so by thc articles of sur
render. . . . Jeff. Davis is fleshing up since
he has gone into the cool casemates at
Portress Monroe. An immense load fcll
ofl'his shoulders when the Confederacy
went up. . . .Gov. Magotlin of Kentucky,
recommends to his state to adopt the pro
poscd amendment to tlie constitution abol
ishing slavery, and to adapt themselves at
once to the order of things the war has es-
tablished.
Vt. Soldikks Cojiing IIoiiE. The Vt.
soldiers are now returning every day.
The 10th regiment, 337 officers and men,
reached Burlington, Tuesday. We notice
that Co. A, recruited here by Capt. Frost,
is reduced to 28 men, the smallest compa
ny m the regiment. The losses in the
regiment have been 722, and the 10th has
not seen as severe service as many of the
older ones, although it did gallantly and
saw hard fighting at Cold Harbor, the
Monococy, Cedar Creck and at Peters
burg. The 11th regiment reached Burlington
on Thursday afternoon, and the 6th at
an early hour Friday morning. Both
were warmly welcomed and received the
hospitalities of the Burlingtonians. The
men were furloughed until Wednesday,
when they were to receive their pay.
Expensive. By a stateraent in the
Lancaster liepublican it appears that it
cost the pretty little sum of $1,093.57 to
arrest, cominit and try the notorious Wm.
H. Crawford who was arrested as a de
serter at Northumberland, and who made
a murderous assault upon sheriff Colby
and his attendanls, soine time last sum
mer. Ciiuel Affaik. Some heartless vil
lain undertook to drive the horse " Lyon''
from Boston to Portland (110 miles) be
tween sunrise and sunset one day last
week. The horse fell dead six miles from
Portland. The horse was a splendid ani
mal, and his cruel death receives universal
condemnation. Any horse is too noble
an animal to be abused by the sporting,
gambling blacklegs who of late freciuent
and manage our trotting parks and raee
courses. Of this affair the Boston Jour
nul aptly says :
" It was an act which justly deserves
public condemnation. No man wlio has
a spark of genuine love or admiration for
a horse would ever subject him to such a
trial as this one was put to. It would be
a righteous punisliment to take the parties
who made the bet and the man who drove
thc horse and harness them together and
make them draw the wngon back to Bos
ton. We know one person who .would
like to hold the reins over them. They
would have a chance to see what " time"
they could make over some of the rough
est places on the route.
Vermont Beptiblican Convention.
It is refreshing at this time to have
such a voice of patriotism, public spirit
and goodjudgment asthat emanating from
the Kepublican State Convention of Ver
mont. The circumstances under which it
is uttered are not without difficulty and
delicaey. Many thoughtful men havo
feared that there would come such an iu
ertia in the public mind after thc cxtraor
dinary strain and activity of the last four
years, that a season of dangerous indiffer
ence to national questions would eusue,
giving opportunity for the revival of bad
iufluences and of factions which the coun
try in its best estate would condemn. But
the masses of the Green Mountain State
give no support to such apprehensions.
They realize that "eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty," and that the hour of
succe63 is often the hour of danjjer. llcnce
their tone is bold and frank, while their
opinions are as cxplicit as the occasion re-
quires.
As Hon. J. S. Morrill and other speak
ers declared, and as thc resolutions avow.
Vermont is in favor of universal sutrra:e.
Having experienced thc rich bcneilts of
that principle itself, it commends it to
others, because a voluntary adoptiou of it
by thc Southern Statcs now in process oi'
re-organization will lmmcnsely enhanceits
utility. But so tirmly eonvineed are the
Bepublicans of Vermont that rlie substan
tial application of this principle is so much
a matter of indispensable justicc, ofwel
fare to the States conccrned, and of safety
to the nation at large, that, in case of its
becoming necessary, they call upon Con
gress to use all its constittitional owers to
secure it. This is risrht. This is the
ground wliicli will ultimately be takcn by
the patriotic masses at the orth, unless
it should be precluded by thc wisc aetion
of the Southern States. At thc same
time, thc Bepublicans of Vermont justly
and heartilv endoi'se Presidcnt Jolinson,
who has cleared thc way for thc roeon-
struction of thc South, and will aid it by
the whole power of his admimstration.
The party in powcr must work toircthcr
to this end, and devotion to principle,
frankness and a conciliatory bearing should
characterize its wholc coursc. Bolton

Democratic Convention.
EHSOI.UTIONS I'ASSEI).
1. Resolved, That wc have rcnewed
conlidence in and veneration for Demo
cratic principles. Because those princi
ples were disrcgarded wc have been alllict
ed with onc of the worst civil wars the
world has ever known, dcstroying, proba
bly, a half a million of our citizens in thc
primc of lifc and thc vigor of health, and
oppressing us and our postcrity with a na
tional debt of more that four thousand
millions of dollars, and the consequcnt
taxation to provide for the same. And
deploring these and other evils to the
country which have come upon it in con-
senuencc of a disrejrard of thc principles of
the national democratic party, we here re
new our devotion to that party and its
principles, as the only basis of national lib
erty and self-governmcnt,
2. Resolved, That arincd resistancc to
the gencral government having ceascd in
all the states and territories, civil law
should immediately be restored, not only
m the states which have been true to the
general government, and which have been
arbitrarily and unjustly deprived of it, but
tliroughout the whole country.
3. Resolved, That this being the milita-
ry condition of thc country, thc conti'ol of
the several states, as they existed before
the rebellion, should at once be given to
the white citizens thereof, who have borne
true allegiance to the general government,
and those who will now take an oath to
hereafter bear true-allegiance to the state
and national governments.
4. Resolved, That believing, with the
immortal Douglas, that the government
otthis country was organized for, and
should be controlled by, the white races
therein, and that the good of all will best
be promoted by confining the right of suff-
rage to the white citizens thereof. we are
unalterably opposed to eonfemng the right
of suffrage upon the ignorant negroes of
thc country.
5. Resolved, That we congratulate the
men composing the democratic party for
their patience and patriotism during the
tcrrible crisis througli which the country
has passed. They have donc their duty
as good citizens, and no amount of party
misrepresentation will prcvent the country
and thc world from extolling a misrepre
sented and oppressed party for those vir
tu'es. 6. Resolved, That we call the attention
of the citizens of the state to, and invoke
their condemnation upon the law of the
last legislature, excluding foreigners in- i
habitants who own propcrty and have a
f rfJin li listfrrll tlia lMrrlf vrxi'iTMV n '
this state in town and school-district mect
ings. This right that class of inliabitants
have exercised since the formation of the
state ; and as a proper corrective to this
unjust legislation, we hope they will all
get naturalized and vote against their op
pressors. 7. Resolved, That in the wise and con
stitutional policy of President Johnson, to
restorc all the states to their constitutional
position reinvcstiirg them with rights
and corresponding duties, and cementing
anew the integrity of the government,
we discem a most happy augurr that thc
malignity, wliich strite and collision have
engendered, may be utterly supplanted by
thc fraternity which enabled our fathcrs to
form thc constitution and create the Un
ion ; and if, with Jacksonian firmness, he
will maintain his policy against the plot
ting of treason on thc one hand, and thc
raving and ribaldry of fanaticism on the
other, we tendcr to him our earncst and
undividcd support.
8. Resolved, That our gratcful thanks
are due and are hereby tendered to the
gallant soldiers of the army, who, by their
bravery and self-sacrificing labors in the
iield have subdued thc rebellion, and there
by have nobly vindicated the declaration
ofthe immortal Jackson, "The Union
SHALL I'.E I'HESEliVED."
0. Resolved, That we will unitedly sup
port the nominations this day made.
Vermont Democracy.
Not much in a practical point of view
is ever cxpected of the democratic party
of Vermont. It is like the delegate of a
territory in Congress, it can talk and that
is about all it can do. But this very po
sition isfavorable to freedom ofexpression
for whatever may be said in convention, it
can make no difference witli the result at
the polls. Hence wc are as likely to get
at the general drift of the democracy at a
given time by the action of the party in
Vermont, as in any other way. We all
remembcr how it was two years ago.
The convention at Montpelier rung with
the most advanccd crics of copperheadism.
It was charged that President Lincoln bc
gan the war for the purposc of clevating
the negro, that hc had only made progress
in conquering the North, and that if even
the South could be conquered, which was
doubtful, "wc should need a standing ar
my of 500.000 or a niillion of men to keep
that country in order ! " Such proved to
be the kcy-notc of the democratic party
that ycar.
It is with some intcrest, thercfore, that
we now see thc democracy of Arermont
coming up again and declaring that they
" have rcnewed contidencc in, and vener
ation for, democratic principles" us, we
presume, they have heretoforc proclaimed
them. They may not cxactly maintain
still that it will requirc 500,000 or a mil
lion of armcd irx to keep order in the
ronqucred South, and they -eein to have
forgottcn all about the divinc institution
of slavery, but they yet cling to the great
' ditnocratio jirineiple" that ,a negro
has no nghts which a white man isbound
to rospeot." If they enn't keep him a
lavt they are determined to exelude hiin
from the ballot-box. and to makv his con
dition at the South wholly dependent up
on tlic mercies of the late rebels in arms.
Thi they make the great central plank of
their platlorm. They record themselves
as " unalterably opposed to confcrring the
rijrht of sutfrage upon thc ignorant negroes
of the country." As to intelligcnt negroes
they would probably deny that there are
or can bc any such.
This, probably, thcn, is to constitute
the great principle of thc rcvived demo
cratic party. It is true, conlidence in
President .lohnson's reeonstruclion policy
is cxprcsscd, but as there is an " if in
that, it will probably amount to about as
nmcli as President .lohnson's reliance upon
thc democratic party of Vermont. No.
persccution ofthe negro is their chief and
most characteristic principle. Adopting
this, they may well congratulate " the
men composing the democratic party,"
South and North probably, "upon their
patience and patriotism during the late
tcrrible crisis," and may, doubtless, look
forward to thc same sort of party success
es which they have gained during thc last
four years ! Boston Journul.
How a liig Oil Bubble has Burat.
Thc rnited Service Petrolcum and
Mining company at New York has madea
pretcnse of doing business on a capital of
.500,000 and has pronused "big things"
to whocver should invest in it. There
have been a goodly mimber of invest
ments, but not nearly as many "big things"
in thc way of dividends as the anxious
stockholders had anticipated. On Mon
day Gcorge D. Kellogg of New York and
some others made complaint against Wil
liam D. Mann, thc vice president and
general superintendcnt of thc company,
and Daniel Stratton, Jr., onc of thc trus
tees of thc compaivy, charging them with
having obtained about 65,000 in sub
scriptions and about $57,000 in cash on
false pretenses in payment for shares
whose value is only nominal and probably
altotfcther worthless. Mann was arrested
and committed for examination, and Strat
ton, who is at the West, will be got hold
of as soon as possiblc.
Mann was formerly colonel of the 7th
Michigan cavalry, resigned and went to
the oil regions, got hold of some small lots
of land, took Stratton as a partner, issued
an attractive prospectus naming Maj.
Gen. Hancock as president, and went to
work. IIc bought an engine and sent out
and pumpcd a few barrels of oil, but some
of the stockholders who took a notion to
go out and look after thc property they
had invcsted in, found how the case stood
and that they had been swindled. Henco
this unpleasant development for Mcssrs.
Mann & Stratton. They are proved to
have received over $57,000 in cash, and
to have expended only $11,265, of which
$6000 was paid for engines and the re
mainder for getting the stock into thc
market. They probably received more
moncy than the affidavits made by their
accusors show, and arc certainly as pre
cious a pair of scamps as ever tried
to cheat a gulliblc public. Thc develop
ments in this case will help to impress the
beneficial necessity of caution on the part
of those who invest in oil stocks.
They have been locked up, in default of
fifteen thousand dollars bail each.
XTnion State Convention.
For Besolutions see first page. v
MR. MOItlULL's SPEECIL
In response to hearty and continued
calls from the Convention, Mr. Morrill
took the stand. Premising that his re
spected colleague in his interesting and
eloquent remarks had, as it seenied to him,
rather "skipped the hard places," and that
if he spoke at all himself, he must speak
upon thc vital topics of the day, he
went on to say, that having triumphed in
the war for the Uuion, we are now to see
to it that we do not losc our victory after
we have gained it, by allowing ourselves
to be outgeneraled in statemanship or di
plomacy. We must see to it that by no
eraft or fraud the burden of Slavery is
again fastened on us, or a load worso if
possible, than slavery. Here in Vermont,
wc believe in universal suffrasc, in true
iraternity and equality of human rights
for all before thc law. This equality of
rights does not require that every onc shall
vote. In Vermont, we deny the elective
franchise to women, to minors, to unnat
uralized foreigners. In other States the
privilege is accorded to colored men in a
qualified degree ; in othei-s black men are
wholly excluded. And this is a question
which properly belongs to the States to
settle. President Johnson is trying to do
right in this matter, and I accord to him
my confidence. Hc is souuding his way
like a careful mariner. If the measures
he has tried do not succeed, he will try
others. But thc final determination of
this great question resls with Congress.
We would not have a State constitution
forced on any southern State, as Picrce
endeavored to forcc the Lecompton con
stitution on Kansas. Congress may, how
evcr, properly require that in order to
readmission, the late rebel States must
satisfy us that they arc ready to susUiin
free (overntnent. If they choose to imposo
rcstrictions on thc elective franchise, irre
spective of color, let them do it ; but if
they insist on making a white skin the
test, I, for one, would cxcludo their rep
rcscntatives from Congress till doomsday.
If the Senate and llousc of Kepresen
tativcd will stand linu, we arc secure.
But thc danger is that we shall be so anx
ious for the completcreturn of all the reb
el States, that we shall admit them before
they are truly converted. What is thc
temper of the Southern men ? In my re
cent visit South, I saw no southern man
n-ho believed that slavery w:ts actuall'
gone. They arc willing to relinquish the
nduie ; but cxpect to put such conditions
as they choose on the freedom of thc ne
groes. They expect to hirc their black
laborers at a nite which will cost them no
more than their support as slavcs did be
fore. They expect to gain by the change
in some respects to gain in rcpresenta
tion in Congress. By including all thc
negroes in the basis of representation in
stcad of three-titths :is hcrcloforc, they ex
pect to secure twelve additional represen
tatives in the llouse. Any one ean cal
culatc how much more will be ncedcd to
give thc control of the Uouse to the cne
iniitf of Freedom and of thc Government.
Are we willinir to vield this l 1 believe
not.
Again, what aire we to do inilividually
with these conquered rebels ? I um not
bloody minded, but I think that security
for the future requires that some of them
:-hould Mifl'er the extremc pcnalty of thc
law. I beHeve it would have been letier
for thc countiy had the punishment of
treJison as a crinie lxen more strictly en-
forced. I believe it would have been for
the welfarc of thc country if Aaron Burr
had been humr, and if Old Ilickorv had
hunr John C. Calhoun :is a traitor. Gen.
Nye, the witty Scnator from Ncvada, tells
a story of once on his travcls, coming
across a m:m who, with a huie cudgel.
was lustily bclaboring the carcass of a dead
dog. '"Why do you do that?" he askcd:
'don't you see thc dog is dead ?" ,Ycs,"
was the answer, ''I know he is dead and
tvti hc died, and I am bound toconvince
some of these shcep stealing dogs that
there is punishment for them after death,
as well as in lifc." So, said Mr. Mor
rill. I would have traitors know that their
crimc must lind surc rctribution, in this
world and the ncxt, too.
To scttlc all these issues, is going to re
quirc all our firmness and sagacity. Wc
have still to meet not only the subdued
and sullen southerncrs, but the northeni
men who, thus far in this crisis, have
shirked all their duties who have re
maincd in their calm retrcats, while others
have borne thc labor and lieat of the fray,
and have there stored up much sound ad
vice for the voters. They will now
doubtless try to convince us that, as noth
ing is made in sincc they werc good for
nolhing in war, they must be good for
peace. They are the mcn who are so
gloomy over our debt ; who iind it so
hard to be taxcd for the support of the
Union they care so little for. It is a
narrow niargin that divides these mcn
from thc rebels. We must still beware of
them.
Mr. Morrill went on to eulojnze the
bravery and constancy of our soldiers, il
lustrating it by a story of a one-lcgged
soldier, who said to him, "Itishard for
mc, a workmg man, to lose a limb and go
a cripple through lifc, but let me tell you,
ivould not exchange the fact that I fought
at Getiysuurg, for my feg." lo cvcry sucl
hero, sjiid thc speaker, I would that a
monument of bronze or marble misht bc
raiscd.
Concludinjr, Mr. Morrill said: We
have not lost in the tcrrible contest just
cnded. Wc hold our country entire. Wc
see, or soon will see, every man in it a
free man. Having faith in our cause aud
in our soldiers, we.have conquered; hav
ing faith in God, we may still pray and
hope that with this, all other things may
be addcd.
This excellcnt speech, which we have
thus imperfcctly sketched, was received
with abundant applause.
SPEECH OF HON. E. C. REDIXGTOX.
Mr. Kedington of St. Jounsbury con
sidercd this an important Convention, and
hoped its declaration of principles would
be clear and out-spoken. He read the
resolution of the Democratic Convention
pronouncing against extending thc right of
suffrage to the " ignorant blacks, and
said he was glad there was some such ig
norance as that of the negroes, for it was
universally coupled with loyalty and fidel
ity. He had far rather trust an ignorant
but loyal blackman with thc ballot tuan
a white rebel, and he hoped to see the day
when, every Avhere, his . black brother
(not much blacker than himself,) could
vote by his side.
His heart was pained that at the gmnd
review of our troops in Wrashington. no
colored troops were present. If he ' had
. -n Srv . ,
l)een President, one division of them at
least, should have been thcrc, if it cost a
Ul '""j
had the front column, too, to sllOW to thc
world that we honored our black patriots.
